It was a busy week on the pitch this weekend with many of
the Boyle teams victorious.
Firstly the McGovern Directional Drilling sponsored
team travelled to Enfield to take on St. Croans in the second game of the
league. Boyle got off to an unconvincing start and trailed by 3 points at half
time. The second half was a far more spirited performance with Boyle clawing
back to going ahead towards the end of the second half. The most notable scores
of the match for Boyle came through wing back Dylan East who stood confident in
scoring two penalties. Congratulations to Senior league debutants Ryan
Finneran, Jack Moran, and Seamus Kane.
The minor lads had a good win in the Abbey Park Sunday also. They took on
Western Gaels in their second game of the Division 3 league. Two early goals in
the first 10 minutes gave the lads a great platform. Boyle continued to press
in the first half with a further 5 points to go in half time with 2.5 to 3 score
line. Boyle carried on the second half like the first and put another 5 points
on the score board. Western Gaels fought back near the end to narrow Boyle's
lead but the win was never in doubt. Boyle ran out winners with a 3.10 to 1.7
scoreline. The same team play away to St. Michaels on Good Friday at 6.00pm.
On the ladies front, following two previous wins in the championship the U16
ladies lost to Elphin/Kilmore. The next match is home to Four Roads on the 16th
of April.
The U 12s are away to Elphin/Kilmore in their first league
match on Monday 2nd of April.
Congratulations also to Enda, Donal, Cian and Tadgh who all played their part
in Roscommon's promotion back to division 1 football.
Finally the Junior team is back in action next week with many
"veterans" set to make a welcome return. This match is due to take
place Saturday evening the 31st at 5.30 in the Abbey Park.
